(volunteers) who had completed their third-year course of the RSS, The
Sangh Shiksha Varg, at the monthlong summer camp held here annually to
graduate as ‘pracharaks’ (full-time activists). Bhagwat said the RSS is
engaged in uniting people on certain values of nationalism and ideals
that would serve the society. He cited Punjab’s separatist movement,
which he said, could be defused only because a large section of the
society and also the government and those in authority could join hands
to achieve the goal.Nagpur June 11: The 30 day third year Sangh
Shiksha Varg was concluded today, the valedictory was held at Nagpur. At
the function, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat delivered validictory address,
accused successive governments at the Centre of failing to reclaim
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the last 66 years.Mohan Bhagwat, RSS Sarasanghachalak“It
is a complete failure on our part that we could not regain the part of
Kashmir occupied by Pakistan. Parliament even passed a unanimous
resolution 18 years ago that PoK is an integral part of India but
successive governments have failed miserably to do anything about it”,
Bhagwat said.Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said it was a lack of
political will and failure of the countrymen to unite on national issues
that had led to most of the problems that the country is facing today.
Citing the Pak-occupied-Kashmir as one such problem, he said it was
regrettable that even 66 years after parts of Kashmir were illegally
occupied by Pakistan, India could do little to regain control over it.

“In
1994 Parliament passed a unanimous resolution that whole of Kashmir,
including PoK, were indivisible parts of India and that we have to get
back the areas illegally under Pakistan’s occupation. But after that
subsequent government have done nothing in last 16 years to gain control
of PoK. The country today faces several serious problems. None of them
is insurmountable. Only we need to evolve a society that values
nationalism and patriotism above individuals and unity to resolve these
problems created by political parties that work under vote bank
pressures instead of national interests,’ said Bhagwat.

The RSS
chief was addressing a gathering of over 1,000 swayamsevaks (volunteers)
who had completed their third-year course of the RSS at the monthlong
summer camp held here annually to graduate as ‘pracharaks’ (full-time
activists). Bhagwat said the RSS is engaged in uniting people on certain
values of nationalism and ideals that would serve the society. He cited
Punjab’s separatist movement, which he said, could be defused only
because a large section of the society and also the government and those
in authority could join hands to achieve the goal.

However, he
said that such unity of thought was missing when it came to address the
Kashmir problem. He lambasted the interlocutors’ report which was put in
public domain recently. The report totally ignored the voice of Hindu
pundits who were thrown out of the homeland, he said. He also questioned
‘the dual character’ of Kashmir that seems to have enamoured the
interlocutors and said which province of India does not have such
diverse nature. “In fact it is this diversity that is the hallmark of
India’s unity. So where is the question of giving separate treatment to
Kashmir?” he asked.

Pointing out the politics of appeasement,
Bhagwat said that recently Mamata Bannerjee in West Bengal had granted a
pay hike to mullahs and muezzins of mosques. “From where did that money
come? It’s public money and majority in this country are Hindus,” said
the RSS chief. “There is need to get beyond such appeasement of one
section or another and think in terms of policies that would bring real
development touching all. Such an exercise was undertaken by outgoing
French President Sarkozy who formed a special committee of economists to
suggest policies that would bring lasting development in terms of
happiness to all and peace in the society, said Bhagwat.

Director
of Punjab Kesri chain of newspapers Ashwini Kumar, who was the chief
guest at the valedictory function, said if one stood firm on values,
success was certain. He said he lost his father Lala Jagat Narain as
well as father Ramesh Chandra to separatists’ bullets in Punjab. But his
newspaper refused to be dictated by the militants.Kumar said he considered himself lucky for having spent the day, which was also his birthday, at the RSS headquarters.
